I must admit i expected this to be quite rubbish, but the subtle differences in each event makes this a great varied sports title. each event varies (maybe with the exception of the running events) greatly, some of the best events being the gymnastics which i thought would be rubbish,. Some events require a series of button presses,some require waggling the stick, some requiregetting the best angle and some require a good aim. My favourite events so far are the rings, javelin, skeet shooting, air pistol hammer throw and 10m diving. the only events i aint keen on are judo and the rock hard (for me) kayaking.I am enjoying it much much more than i expected to.my only concerns with this title is that i cant do that flipping judo for the life of me and have yet to get to grips with the kayaking. also playing with your mates is the way to go here, already causing quite a few rows!
